G'day, I'm New Around These Parts. Need Help

[studricho]

Sorry, I got no headlights with the front cut.

The good news is that the car is registered...Yippee

[studricho]

I've been driving the car nearlly every day and I'm loving it. It's such a good car to cruise in and when you want to go you just put your foot down.

Still some little teething issues, but nothing major. I'll have to check out the cruise section and come out on a cruise night to meet some SAU members and have a chin wag.

I have made a scoop for the standard inter cooler and installed a turbo smart boost tee. I'm running abit more boost than standard and I'm very happy with the power.

I'd like more though...It's like an addiction. The gearbox makes some funny noise, so looks like I may have to remove it and rebuild it. I don't think that will be easy in my engine bay. You get that.

I gave the engine bay a degrease and bath today, so I thought I'd post up a picture...

I've been driving the car everywhere and apart from some strange noises it's great to drive.

Nice UC mate, i usualy dont like the UC front end but with that rb25 hummin under it makes it a nice street car.

did you use the engine and dash wiring harness outa the front cut or was it completely custom?

Hope ur enjoying crusing in the torrie.

Thanks. I didn't know which section to post it in as I couldn't find a project section.

Thanks Ben. We actually used the original engine/under dash harness from the half cut, but we stripped it right back to only what we needed and what we may need in the future including some spares for future installs.

I haven't taken it on the dyno yet. I having some gearbox noise issues and some other rattles. There use to be a shop down in the gong that specialist with skylines, but they have closed down.

I would like to do a track day in the car to see what it can do around eastern creek compared to my bike. Like I mentioned before, I want to get issues sorted out first.

cool

Just a small update...

I've done nearly 30,000 klms since the car was registered. I'm really loving the engine package. Nothing much has change apart PWR alloy radiator after a hitting a kangaroo. Stupid animals.

Working in Sale VIC so I may see you guys getting around soon..
